As has been pointed out to you. A 12 month contract ususlly costs more per month than a 24 month contract.

You have to work out costs over a longer period in order to find out if you are saving or not.

It does cost more, but we used to get 18 months contracts for more or less the same price. I thought we have done away with 24 months contract and now FTTp seems to be an excuse to bring them back apart from Plusnet which seems to be bringing them back for FTTC as well.

Even so it is not just about price it is also being stuck in a long contract if the service is naff, as I Said, been there, done that. They don't even seem to give new customers the choice, why not give people the choice of paying a bit more for a shorter contract?
Being a customer already, I have that choice, but I am not going to take it, I am not paying another £4 a month more just for 18 month or 12 month contract, so I will go to another ISP.

If you can find a 12 month contract at another ISP, for the same price as 24 months at Plusnet, you'll be doing very well. Not saying it's impossible, but your choices will be few.

Surely his point is that he is not going to take a two-year contract under any circumstances? He prefers to pay a marginally higher price for a 12-month or less term elsewhere.

If the service is naff then you can leave at anytime.

Now broadband does 12 months that is cheaper than Plusnet, Onestream is another, but I know very little about Onestream. But you are right choices are few.

Zzoomm does 12 month contracts, but that is FTTP and their prices are better than Plusnet FTTP.

Yeah, yeah, and that works out really well.

As he says. Granted existing customers have to ring PN for a decent price -- I was given same price as new customers and look forward to two years of the same reliable BB I have enjoyed for years. I really can't be bothered with the hassle of changing (and often downtime) for the sake of a few £s a year.

Don't want a 2 year contract,
